I support those who are seeking to increase their capacity to manage their diagnosis rather than having the diagnosis manage them. While validating the individual experience I provide skills and tools that support increased wellness. Experience working for both the Bi-polar Foundation and the Canadian Mental Health Association has provided me with additional training and expertise in working with this particular mental health challenge. A personal connection with the diagnosis has only increased my empathy and understanding of the struggles that may experienced.
BD type I or II often devastates the client and their family members. At Rainyday Counselling, we can provide the best tools and insight to facilitate people's recovery from BD.
I use Cognitive Behaviour Therapy as a primary treatment method for bipolar disorder. People who experience bipolar disorder experience highs and lows. I will work with you to determine your greatest difficulties during both your manic and your depressive phases. Together, we will design a plan for therapy aimed at helping you achieve the greatest symptom reduction and learn ways of managing symptoms moving forward.
Our therapists are experienced and able to provide support for those who are newly diagnosed or who have been struggling for a lifetime. Whatever your circumstance, we are here for you. Get in touch for a consult.
